I have my other 3 wisdom teeth in but i have the last one coming through at 39 years old. is this normal?

It's possible: The tooth itself is not growing ("erupting") into your mouth. The tooth is fully grown and likely does not have the capacity to move itself around in your jaw bone. The likely scenario is that your gums and surrounding bone/tissues are remodeling and moving around, thus making it seem like your wisdom tooth is growing upwards into your mouth. And yes, I've seen this many times. It's normal!

Not Abnormal: Wisdom teeth are quite unpredictable. Eruption timing can vary widely.

Not abnormal: Not abnormal. I recommend evaluation by oral surgeon to determine if tooth should be remove.
